The Brute is the new foot soldier in the Halo universe, and he's looking mean …

So the Bungie video documentary is out! The best way to view it is to download it via Xbox Live and enjoy some big screen action in 720p, but PC-centric people in the audience can find it at GameVideos.com. The video is called "Et Tu, Brute?" Not surprisingly, the video is about the Brute and his place in the Halo universe. Give it a watch, it's worth your time.

While we barely see any in-game footage from Halo 3 there are a lot of animation tests along with information about how they failed with the Brute and its design in the first game, and what they're hoping to do in Halo 3. So far I'm liking what I'm seeing; even without a lot of new information, what we have here is solid—enough to get my mouth watering for more. Since we're about a year away from getting the game, any more than that would have just been frustrating.

I know the Halo series has its faults—and they are some major ones—but I just love the world they've built around the game. I've read the novels, played the games, and I'm looking forward to getting the comic book after the holidays. I'm going to get a lot of hate for saying this, but I can't wait to play Halo 3 and see how the story plays out. This video has me even more excited than I was before about the experience.
